Holocaust Inversion [View all]

Last edited Thu Jul 24, 2025, 09:21 AM - Edit history (1)

When people refer to Israelis as Nazis, it boils my blood. It is probably the single most offensive slur against Jews I can think of. Then last night I encountered the term "Holocaust Inversion". Somehow, being able to put a name on it has given me a little peace. Doesn't make it right, but the anger this was inducing was unhealthy. This article was written on April 1, 2007, long before Oct 7, 2023. Holocaust Inversion is not something new. It has simply gone mainstream.

Holocaust Inversion: The Portraying of Israel and Jews as Nazis

The false accusation of Holocaust inversion—the portraying of Israel, Israelis, and Jews as Nazis—is a major distortion of history. This anti-Semitic concept claims that Israel behaves against the Palestinians as Germany did to the Jews in World War II. “The victims have become perpetrators,” is one major slogan of the inverters. By shifting the moral responsibility for genocide, Holocaust inversion also contains elements of Holocaust denial.

It might have been a good idea not to encourage Hamas to start the problem on Oct 7th-Jews did not start the problem Stargazer99 Jul 24 #16
